Chapter 8
Ezra's P.O.V
The silence between the three of us was agonizing. My arms were wrapped around me and I was looking at the floor. "Ezra," 'mom's' soothing voice got me to look up at her. I could hear and feel that they both felt horrible. "We should have told you something but..." She trailed off.
"But we thought if we changed your past that you would forget it and be a happy boy with loving parents," Kanan finished. "So you two decided to just hide everything about me?" I said hurt. "Well, let's fix that by explaining to you what happened now," Hera said. I was still mad but nodded my head cause I was dying to know.
"It was our first mission to rescue someone.." Kanan started, "We didn't know who or what or age wise of who that person was." "The only thing we knew was the cell number and when we went to rescue them, instead we found a room with a small five-year-old under it," Hera said smiling guilty at me. I glared at her and she frowned.
"A little boy was hiding under a bed but what was most disturbing was his eyes," Kanan said. I looked at him and told him to continue. "They were yellow," Kanan finished. My eyes widen at this, "So your telling me that..." "You were being trained to become a Sith," Hera said and rubbed my back in reassurance. I looked over at Kanan when I heard him laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked.
"When we were trying to break you out, you wouldn't come out from under the bed. So I reached under to grab you and you bit some of my fingers," He said and a weak smile spread across my face. "The only way to get you out of there was to knock you out with a force trick," Hera said.
Then both of their faces fell when they said the next part. "We grabbed you and left the cell but only to be met with a clocked person," Kanan said. "I looked over at him and answered, "My mom?" "We think so," Hera said, "Kanan was going to hold her off while me and you went back to the Ghost." "Then someone had a pretty nice shot and you were hit in the head," Kanan said darkly.
"We kept going with you though and made it back to the Ghost," Hera said, "I patched you up and we waited until you woke up." "We thought you wouldn't make it but everything changed when we saw those blue eyes of yours," Kanan said. "Do you remember the first thing you said?" Hera asked me. I shook my head no.
"Mommy and Daddy," Kanan said and I didn't move after that. Did I really say that to them? "We realized that you lost your memories so we went on with it and well, here we are now," Hera said. She moved her hand that was rubbing my back to brush strands of hair out of my face. I looked at both of them then back at the ground.
"Is that everything?" I asked. "No," Kanan said and knelt down, opening a secret compartment. He pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to me. "What's this?" I asked. "It's your birth certificate," Hera answered. I looked at the folded paper and slowly began to open it.
I read the paper, "Dustin Arze Bridger, born on Empire day, guardians: Mira and Ephraim Bridger." I looked between the two and asked, "So if that lady with the clock is my mom, then where's my dad?" "We don't know, honey," Hera said. I could still feel the guilty coming off of them. "What else aren't you telling me?" I asked.
"Well we're sort of not married," Kanan said sheepishly scratching the back of his neck. "Oh," was all I said and would have laughed at it if I wasn't so angry. "W-Why would you tell me all of this now and lie to me for the past nine years?" I asked. "We just wanted you to have a family, we didn't mean to hurt you," Hera said.
"Well you did," I snapped at her and she shamefully looked away. "Ezra-" I cut Kanan off, "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I calmed down and said, "it's not even my real name. Where did you even get the name from?!" Kanan looked over at Hera who eyeing the birth certificate. "It's your middle name spelled backwards," she said quietly.
I felt bad for snapping at them but I still looked at the certificate and saw that it was true. "Then your last name, well you know where we got it from," Kanan said. 'Jarrus,' I thought, 'That's there supposed last name.' I sighed and folded the paper then put it in my pocket. "I'm still mad," I said and they gave me a completely understood face. "But thanks for telling me," I said.
They both stood up and were about to leave when Kanan stopped. "Ezra is your real name because your the one we want, not Dustine, he's the evil Sith. Your different and we couldn't ask for a better son and padawan like you Ezra," with that said Kanan left me with my thoughts.
I climbed into my bed and went over everything that I've just been told. Most of my life was a lie but they made me feel just like a family. They took care of me, feed me, almost everything loving parents do. I slowly fell asleep still thinking of everything that just happened.
Kanan's P.O.V
After I said what I said to Ezra, I headed towards the cockpit to see Hera. She was busy working to try and bury her sorrow by doing so. "Hera, calm down," I said but she didn't stop. "Hera," I said and that got her attention. "Calm down," I said again and gestured to her chair.
She sat down and I sat in the co-pilots chair. "What's wrong?" I asked. "What if we lose him?" She asked worried, "I don't know what I'll do if we lose him Kanan, I love him so much." I sighed and said, "Me to but we won't cause we'll keep an eye out for him like we've been doing." Hera nodded her head and calmed down then smiled at me.
"Thank you," she said smiling. "No problem, dear," I said leaning back in the chair and closing my eyes. Hera stood up and I thought she was going to leave but did something unexpected. She kissed my cheek and then left leaving me there stunned. I looked over my shoulder at the door closing then back out into the blue of hyperspace.
I smiled and blushed a bit thinking, 'maybe.'
